SOTD / Falling down the rabbit hole

SOTD

Brush: RadDinosaurCreations Clark

I started with a Mühle R89.

Somehow, I ended up here.

After wandering around the internet for far too long, I’ve gradually put together this little collection. Every piece you see here has been a genuinely wonderful tool to use, and I’d like to give each of them a proper review in due course.

The rabbit hole is surprisingly deep, though.

I mean, one day you’re buying a razor, and before you know it, you’re ordering sharpening stones online. 😂

I’m still very much learning with the straight razor, so the training continues. On weekends, when I have a little more time in the morning, I’ll usually spend some of it practising with the straight.

Still plenty to learn, but that’s rather part of the fun.
